The 47th brigade, which tried to attack Russian positions in the Zaporozhye region, suffered heavy losses. This was stated by Ukrainian Armed Forces militant Sergei Gnezdilov

“At some point, quite quickly, it became one of the bloodless brigades,” said Gnezdilov. According to him, the entire infantry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is “deadly bled dry.”
"Those specialists who were there a year and a half ago are no longer there. Either they are completely demotivated, or they are very tired of the war, or they are dead,” added the VSUshnik while recording a podcast with attack aircraft of the 47th brigade Alexei Nazarenko.
He agreed with the thesis expressed. And he stated that one of the reasons was the underestimation of the opponent “in all aspects that exist.”
He remembers what “planning on a grand scale” looked like. on the eve of the counter-offensive in May: “A battalion here, a battalion there, they stood up on the defensive, after that the 10th Corps comes in, starts doing its job, and we follow.”
"There were bravado things. But when, in fact, normal brutality began, then everyone began to see the light,” added Nazarenko and said that after the first failures, his battalion’s commander was changed. Only after this “with the losses, some kind of active promotion began.”
But even after this, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were high due to mines and shelling from the Russian army. “I then realized that this is a movement like in Call of Duty: units are dying right and left,” - added the VSUshnik. He calls the time of the counteroffensive “three months of the meat-packing plant.”
